The double December/January issue of Dork is here, and it’s the perfect way to wrap up 2024 while diving headfirst into what’s next. Packed with everything you need to know about the biggest and buzziest names in music, it’s a festive feast of brilliance, chaos, and pop nonsense – just the way we like it.
Leading the charge this month is our 2025 Hype List, packed with the best new talent for the year ahead. We’ve plucked three cover stars from the masses of new blood assembled, leading off with Welly, the mighty indie preachers gracing our cover and kicking off 2025 as headliners of this year’s Hype List Tour.
Not to be outdone, Alessi Rose and Good Neighbours bring their own unique flair to our cover slots, the former delivering pop magic fit for a queen, and the latter redefining the streaming era one bop at a time. Alongside them, our 2025 Hype List is stacked with future superstars: Cardinals, Chloe Slater, Overpass, Wisp, Sunday (1994), and daydreamers are just a few of the names we’re tipping for greatness. We’ll be revealing the full run down online at the start of January, but you can get an early heads up by grabbing a copy of the mag.
But that’s not all. There’s loads more inside this issue, from 2025’s big returns – think Scissor Sisters’ 20th-anniversary tour and Moonchild Sanelly’s imminent takeover – to the debut album from HotWax and everything else you need to look forward to in the year ahead (Haim! Maybe Wolf Alice! Perchance The 1975? Surely Wet Leg, right?). Plus, it’s list season. Our Album of the Year rundown is here, alongside the results of the 2024 Readers’ Poll, where you’ve made your voices heard loud and clear. (Spoiler: you’ve got impeccable taste.)
And because it’s Christmas, we’ve brought some festive chaos to the table with The Bands joining in the fun – because what’s the holiday season without a bit of pop silliness?
